I cannot. Ever heard of the phrase "The world is a global village"? The internet, a network of networks, connects the world. The world was once without internet and that was okay, we weren't dependent on it. But now, almost every organization, government and institution is somewhat dependent on the internet.
Reasons why the internet is necessary to the world
* Thousands of remote jobs are available on the internet. People are able to work and earn a decent income. In Japan, there's this project that was developed. Disabled people will be able to control robots, serving as waiters in a restaurant. This means, they will be able to earn a living and not be a burden to others.
* Distance education is possible because of the internet. Nursing mothers, husbands, old and young, are able to learn online. They are able to gain knowledge from their choice university, without travelling or leaving their families.
* Developers and other professionals are able to collaborate on jobs and software development, via the internet. They work on tasks from different parts of the globe, and this reduce cost and solves a lot of issues.
* You don't need to spend a fortune on books, because the internet contains a large amount of information.
* People are able to connect with friends and loved ones, without being physically present. Preaching the gospel to nations is possible, with the internet.
We are in a digital age and this means, we cannot thrive without the internet. It really improved our quality of life, and made things easy for us.
